Our love affair with our soup maker is still going strong. We are now trying to branch out and make more ‘adult’ soups. Our latest one surprised us by how easy it was but how tasty. I will admit that the older Costellos girls weren’t totally sold on trying it – not coconut lovers but Baby T devoured it with chunks of Pashwari Naan dipped in. I think I would try toasted almonds sprinkled on top next time we make it – if only to be a teeny bit pretentious!

Add the softened potatoes, curry paste and coconut milk and simmer for another 10-15 mins. Add a few flakes of chilli if you like your food really spicy - This soup will have a slight kick to it, even without the chilli flakes.

Blitz with a hand held blender or place in a food processor until really smooth.

Add pepper depending on your taste - I find it doesn't need salt.

Using a soup maker: Add all the ingredients at once. Press start and the 'smooth' option and cook for 21 minutes. Easy!
